award winning documentary

A
federal judge sentenced Pete O’Neal, pictured here
with his wife of 42 years, Charlotte Hill O’Neal, to
a four year prison term for transporting a shotgun
across state lines.

The
conviction was a part of the FBI’s nationwide
COINTELPRO efforts to destroy and disperse the
leaders of the Black Panther Party and other
militant organizations. Out on bail, Pete and
Charlotte sought what was to be ‘temporary’ refuge
in Sweden then Algeria and finally in 1972 they
settled into a life of homesteading and community
service in Tanzania, whose government welcomed
militants and freedom fighters from around the
world.

The
O’Neal’s had $700 and a dream between them.

That
dream became the United African Alliance Community
Center UAACC and their passion for community service
hasn’t abated even after four decades in Tanzania!

It’s hard
to believe that we are already a month into the New Year
2012!

2011 was
jammed packed full of adventures and achievements and
the UAACC Family would like to take this opportunity to
thank all of our friends and family…comrades all…who
helped us to realize so many dreams.

The
community effort put forth during the Heal the Community
Tour 2011 was unprecedented and helped to push us far to
GET THAT BUS for the UAACC Community outreach
program, LEADERS OF TOMORROW CHILDREN.

Family and
Comrades from the west coast, east coast and environs in
between, ‘threw down’ and raised several thousand
dollars towards the bus, sometimes by resorting to the
old fashioned ‘pass the hat’ community effort that has
always been so effective in our neighborhoods.

Harambe
filled the air all across cities in America who
participated in the fund raising!

soon for a look at a photo essay which is a special
shout out to all who helped make the Heal the Community
Tour 2012 the success that it was.

You all
are appreciated beyond measure!

More UPDATES.....

UAACC has started 2012
with much excitement and fervor! We have a brand new intake of
students and a new crew of volunteers who are already doing all
they can to share their knowledge with youth and elders in our
AruMeru community in our daily classes and activities including
in:

English
l
Music and Music ProductionComputer
Art and
Handicraft Yoga Sports
and soon to come...Video
and Photography!!

Stay tuned for
photos of our new 2012 crew of volunteers and students and kudos
to those who have served and moved on to continue to represent
the best of who our UAACC family is!

Transitions....

We were sad to see the passing of
so many of our friends and comrades in 2011 including
our dear brother and UAACC family member, Geronimo
ji Jaga. We will always honor his memory in our
community outreach. He and all our comrades, will
not be forgotten!!

There are plenty of opportunities
at UAACC to share your knowledge in an informal and
exciting setting here in the foothills of Mt. Meru, whether you are here for three days or three
months or more.

If you have knowledge to share we can
use your expertise and enthusiasm in computer studies, arts,
crafts, languages, math, music, video production, health and
nutrition, drama...you name it and more than likely we can
build workshops or classes around your particular expertise.
